Rachael Stokes
Owner/Head Trainer
Rachael grew up the daughter of an accomplished Arabian horse trainer. She has been riding and showing Arabians since she can remember, earning numerous championships since childhood. In her twenty plus years of training experience, Rachael has also trained other breeds. She has taken Saddlebreds, Friesians, and of course Arabians, all the way to the top, achieving greatness at the national and world level. Horses are Rachael’s joy in life. She puts the horses first, and her dedication is reflected in her show ring success. Rachael and her husband Scott have owned and operated Stokes Equestrian for 15 years, and they are excited for the opportunity to share their beautiful facility (and love of horses!) with anyone who's got that equine itch!
